From the moment Apple Watch was announced in September of 2014, Apple has placed a special emphasis on the device as a fashion piece. They want people to understand that the Apple Watch is first and foremost a watch, and nowhere is this more evident than the fashionable and astoundingly expensive Apple Watch Edition. This focus on fashion and treating the Watch as more than just a gadget and smartphone accessory has likely contributed to the Apple Watch’s success, with more than 50% of smartwatches sold in 2015 being Apple.
Apple isn’t stopping there with it’s foray into the fashion world, however, and in October 2015 the Apple Watch Hermes was launched. Featuring handmade leather bands by French luxury brand Hermes and custom watch faces designed by Apple, the Apple Watch Hermes represents Apple’s first partnership with a major fashion brand.
Hermes, a big name in fashion and luxury goods, was established in 1837; the company originally produced high-quality harnesses and bridles for carriages. Today, they specialize in leather, luxury goods, clothing, and perfumes, and have shops around the world. They are especially known for their handcrafted leather goods; one handmade bag can take as long as 24 hours to finish. Apple says its partnership with Hermes is based on “parallel thinking, singular vision, and mutual regard,” and the partnership was apparently negotiated before the Apple Watch was even revealed to the public.
The Apple Watch Hermes combines handcrafted, high-quality leather bands from Hermes with a unique Hermes watch face created by Apple designers. The watch case is made of stainless steel, like the standard Apple Watch line; the only physical difference is Hermes branding on the back. The Hermes watch face also features Hermes branding and is only available from this collection. It is a fairly minimal face, with numbers arranged in a square shape against a black background. The watch also comes with all the standard Apple watch faces, if you’re not a fan of the special Hermes face.
The real stars here are the leather straps made by Hermes. There are three styles to choose from: Single Tour, Double Tour, and Cuff. Availability and color choice depend on the watch size you want. Single Tour is a standard leather watch band, with some nice stitching running the length of the strap and a buckle that Apple says is a throwback to Hermes’ roots in equestrian gear. This strap is available in 38mm in Fauve (brown), Noir (black), and Capucine (red); it is also available in 42mm in Fauve and Noir.
The Double Tour is basically an extra-long Single Tour that is designed to wrap around the wrist twice, creating a unique and stylish look. It features the same stitching and buckle as the Single Tour. The Double Tour is only available in a 38mm size, and comes in four colors: Fauve, Etain (gray), Capucine, and Bleu Jean (blue).
The Cuff is another unique strap. This is a thick strap which Apple says is “inspired by equestrian fixtures.” Probably due to the size of the band, the Cuff is only available in a 42mm case size and only comes in one color, Fauve. It is also the most expensive, which makes sense since it appears to use significantly more leather than the other styles. These Hermes straps are exclusive to this collection and can’t be purchased separately, although they do feature the standard Apple Watch connectors and therefore can be swapped out with other bands if you want to change things up.
Speaking of purchasing, the Apple Watch Hermes is being positioned as a luxury product, with prices to match. The Single Tour starts at $1100 for a 38mm watch and jumps to $1150 for a 42mm. The Double Tour will set you back $1250, and the Cuff is $1500. Although this isn’t cheap, it’s definitely within the realm of high-end watches, and a logical step up from the higher-end stainless steel Apple Watches.
The Hermes collection is available for purchase in select stores and online; in-store availability is limited to Apple and Hermes stores in select cities, including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, London, Milan, and a handful of others in Europe, Asia and North America. The collection is also available on Apple.com and Hermes.com.

Harrison County Courthouse, Marshall, Texas
advanced blackjack tips and tricks
“Harrison County comprises 894 square miles of the East Texas timberlands, an area that is heavily forested with a great variety of softwoods and hardwoods, especially pine, cypress, and oak. The terrain is gently rolling, with an elevation ranging from 200 to 400 feet above sea level. Northern and eastern Harrison County, about two-thirds of the total area, is drained to the Red River in Louisiana by Little Cypress Creek, Cypress Bayou, and Caddo Lake. The other third of the county is drained by the Sabine River, which forms a part of its southern boundary.”
“The settlement of the area was well under way by the time of the Texas Revolution in 1836. A dozen Americans received land grants there from Mexican authorities in the fall of 1835. After the revolution the area filled up so rapidly that the Congress of the Republic of Texas officially established Harrison County in 1839. It was drawn from Shelby County, organized in 1842, and named for Texas revolutionary leader Jonas Harrison.”
“Marshall, founded in 1841, became the county seat in 1842. The original county boundaries were reduced by the establishment of Panola and Upshur counties in 1846. Since then, with the exception of a small adjustment with Marion County during Reconstruction, they have remained unchanged. Harrison County was settled predominantly by natives of the southern United States who duplicated the slaveholding, cotton-plantation society they had known before moving to Texas. By 1850 the county had more slaves than any other in the state, a distinction that it maintained through the next decade.”
“The area escaped invasion during the Civil War, but hundreds of its men fought, and the majority of its people were called upon to make at least some material sacrifice. Defeat brought military occupation, the end of slavery, and Reconstruction. White citizens bitterly resented federal authority, especially when it meant enfranchisement of the black majority and a Republican party county government that continued even after the Democratic party regained control statewide in 1874.”
“Harrison County was “redeemed”—returned to white Democratic rule—in 1878 when residents formed the Citizen’s Party of Harrison County and appealed to voters with the argument that Republican government was too expensive. Amidst charges of fraud and coercion, Citizen’s party candidates won the election on a technicality involving the placement of a key ballot box and took firm control of local government. The county has remained politically conservative since Reconstruction.”
“As in antebellum times Harrison County remained overwhelmingly agricultural and rural from 1880 to 1930. During these fifty years, while the population grew slowly from 25,171 to 48,397, the number of farms rose from 2,748 to an all-time high of 6,802. Cotton continued as the main crop, although it was 1930 before production in a census year surpassed the 21,440-bale crop reported in 1860. Production in 1930 was 33,755 bales.”
“Harrison County enjoyed transportation facilities that were better than average for East Texas counties, but its nonagricultural economy expanded slowly from 1880 to 1930. The Southern Pacific Railroad, constructed from Caddo Lake to Marshall before the Civil War, became part of the Texas and Pacific Railway system during the 1870s, and the area was soon linked with Shreveport to the east, Dallas-Fort Worth to the west, and Texarkana to the north.”
“Depression hit the county hard. The value of farm property fell 30 percent between 1930 and 1935, and there were almost 1,500 fewer farms in 1940 than in 1930. For the first time, a majority of workers depended on nonagricultural occupations, and unemployment became a problem. During the depths of the depression in 1935, 1,114 heads of families in Harrison County were on government relief. As late as 1940, 850 workers were employed on public emergency works, and another 838 were without jobs.”
“Between 1930 and 1970, as the county lost population and saw its agricultural economy decline, other developments occurred. First, the automobile revolutionized transportation. Harrison County had only 7,396 motor vehicles registered in 1930. By 1950 the total stood at 12,571, and in 1970 there were 26,912. The county had eighty miles of paved roads on January 1, 1937; by 1970 it was crisscrossed with federal and state highways, including Interstate Highway 20, the major artery from Shreveport to Dallas. Second, rural electrification brought electricity to farms and rural homes. The Panola-Harrison Electric Cooperative, begun in 1937, increased its clientele from 332 customers in 1938 to 2,802 in 1950 and 7,416 by 1970.”
“By the early 1980s county workers earned a total of $434 million per year in retail business, petroleum and lumber processing, pottery manufacture, and other businesses. The growth of Marshall and increasing development along Interstate 20 suggested a trend toward significant commercial development in the county. Advances in education continued, and in 1980, for the first time, a majority of residents aged twenty-five or older were high-school graduates. By 1990 the population had increased to 57,483.”
“In 2002 the county had 1,116 farms and ranches covering 229,272 acres, 35 percent of which were devoted to crops, 33 percent to woodlands, and 28 percent to pasture. In that year farmers and ranchers in the area earned $12,317,000; livestock sales accounted for $10,614,000 of the total. Cattle, hay, poultry, nursery plants, horses, vegetables, and watermelons were the chief agricultural products.”
“Caddo Lake State Park, Lake O’ the Pines, and other lakes provide water recreation, and the county maintains numerous historic sites; Marshall hosts a Fire Ant Festival in October.”
- Handbook of Texas Online, Randolph B. Campbell, “Harrison County“
I was the guest of Marshall and Harrison County on July 14, 2014.
Harrison County Courthouse – 1850
Known as the “Little Virginia Courthouse”, this structure served Harrison County as its second court building after the first one (wooden, built in 1839) ceased to exist. The Texas Historical Commission lists both the architect and the contractor as a Mr. William B. Britton. This Neoclassical courthouse served from 1851 to 1889 until the county outgrew and demolished it.
This was an Italianate building designed by Guy M. Tozer and constructed by James Higgins. It stood three stories with a certain onion dome-like creation on top. This would appear to have a very slight Eastern Orthodox influence, which makes it unique among Texas courthouses. It burned in 1899, but its successor, in my opinion, is one of the state’s finest courthouses.

(Photo Courtesy: TxDOT) (circa 1939)
This very fine architectural work was designed by renowned, master architect James R. Gordon. His design in Angelina County looked somewhat similar to this one, but it burned. Thankfully, this one remains. From the Texas Historical Commission:
“This three story courthouse is constructed of buff colored brick on a pink granite base. It has a cruciform plan with basement. The cornice and balustrades are of galvanized iron, and the arcade is of terra cotta. The Ionic columns are of blue granite. Eagles made of zinc decorate the balustrade around the dome and the apexes of the pediments. A statue of the Goddess of Justice crowns the central dome. On the interior, a coffered ceiling and windows glazed with colored glass created a beautiful design.”
Modifications, as listed by the THC, are as follows: “Original wing porticos shifted to face wing extensions of 1924 and 1927, designed by C.G. Lancaster. Used as a courthouse until 1964, now county offices and Harrison County museum. brick, sim. to Arizona Capitol [also designed by James R. Gordon], 2 porticos extended. Some rehabilitation c. 1980[.]“.
(Photo Courtesy: Texas Historical Commission)
From 1964 onward, the older building ceased holding the district court, which migrated to this more modern courthouse.
Over the years, the older has retained its role as a commissioners’ courthouse, but some of the empty rooms (where county offices once existed) have now been filled with museum displays. The offices that left that building have been transferred to the newer, 1964 version.
The courthouse towers over the local square.
The interior is fittingly as remarkable as the exterior.
An exquisite inner dome
While touring the courthouse, we got the experience (thanks to two local custodians) to explore some of the rooms normally locked and restricted to visitors. It was particularly interesting to see the brick walls, which are original.
Like I mentioned above, the courthouse doubles as a county museum.
Some of the exhibits pay homage to famous Harrison County residents, like George Foreman…
…and Lady Bird Johnson, who was born in the tiny town of Karnack.

Episode 186 – Michael Maslin
Virtual Memories Show #186: Michael Maslin
http://traffic.libsyn.com/virtualmemories/Episode_186_-_Michael_Maslin.mp3
“Arno is as close to the founder of The New Yorker cartoon as you can get.”
Michael Maslin joins the show to talk about his new book, Peter Arno: The Mad, Mad World of The New Yorker’s Greatest Cartoonist (Regan Arts). We talk about his own career at The New Yorker, marrying a fellow cartoonist, becoming a cartoon detective, the allure of Arno and the days when cartoonists were cited in gossip mags, why it took him 15 years to write this biography, and more! Give it a listen! And go buy his book on Peter Arno !
“There have been all kinds of changes, but it’s still The New Yorker.”
We also get into Michael’s cartooning influences & anxieties, the website he built to chronicle the doings of New Yorker cartoonists, the time Robert Gottlieb had to shield William Shawn from paparazzi outside the Algonquin Club, the recent Sam Gross gag that made him bust a gut, the incredible apartment building he lived in in on West 11th St. (and why so many New Yorker cartoonists wind up leaving New York). BONUS: I have a two-minute catch-up with one of my favorite cartoonists, Roger Langridge, at last weekend’s Small Press Expo! (pictured below) Now go listen to the show!
“It took 15 years because I’d never done it before. I think I wrote a paper in high school that was a page and a half, so I had to learn how to do all this.”
Richard Gehr
Born in New Jersey, Michael Maslin was raised in Bloomfield, a bedroom community a half hour due west of Manhattan. In high school, he drew a short-lived comic strip “Our Table” which followed the imaginary exploits of fellow students. Readership was limited to those sitting around him in the lunchroom. About this time, he first submitted work to The New Yorker, and soon received his first rejection.
In August of 1977 the magazine purchased one of his ideas. It was given to and executed by veteran cartoonist Whitney Darrow Jr. (the drawing, of a fortune teller saying to a customer, “Nothing will ever happen to you” appeared in the issue of December 26, 1977). He began contributing regularly to The New Yorker in 1978 – his first drawing appeared in the April 17th issue. In 1988 he married fellow New Yorker cartoonist, Liza Donnelly. They have two children. Simon & Schuster published four collections of his work, including The More the Merrier , and The Crowd Goes Wild . With Ms. Donnelly he co-authored Cartoon Marriage: Adventures in Love and Matrimony by The New Yorker’s Cartooning Couple , Husbands and Wives and Call Me When You Reach Nirvana . They also co-edited several cartoon anthologies. Maslin’s work has appeared in numerous magazines and cartoon anthologies.
In August of 2007 he began Ink Spill, a website dedicated to news of New Yorker Cartoonists, past and present. Ink Spill is comprised of six sections: News & Events, The New Yorker Cartoonists A-Z (a listing of bare bone bios of all cartoonists who have contributed to the magazine), Links, Posted Notes (essays on New Yorker cartoonists), From the Attic (artifacts related to New Yorker cartoons/cartoonists) and The New Yorker Cartoonists Library. Maslin’s biography of Peter Arno, Peter Arno: The Mad, Mad World of The New Yorker’s Greatest Cartoonist was published by Regan Arts in April of 2016

The conversation was recorded at Mr. Maslin’s home on a pair of Blue enCORE 200 Microphones feeding into a Zoom H5 digital recorder. I recorded the intro and outro on a Heil PR-40 Dynamic Studio Recording Microphone feeding into a Mackie Onyx Blackjack 2×2 USB Recording Interface .

The Wonders of the Audible World
http://traffic.libsyn.com/virtualmemories/Season_3_Episode_14_-_The_Wonders_of_the_Audible_World.mp3
“One day, I was on the train to work and I had a terrible anxiety attack and a crisis of whatever, and began just scribbling on a yellow legal pad that I had. It was basically my complaints about my own misery. I was terrified that if I even lifted the pen from the page, I would just be carried off that railroad car screaming, past all the commuters.
“I did that for about three days, just a therapeutic venting on the page. In a little while, I began to become cold and calculating and worldly, and I thought, ‘Shit, this is pretty interesting. What if I just gave this a little quarter-turn to the left? Maybe this would be fiction.’ So that was it.
“Having nothing else to do, it was, hey, let’s dedicate the life to this.”
This episode of the Virtual Memories Show features a conversation with one of my favorite contemporary authors! In June, I drove up to Bennington College to talk to David Gates, author of the novels Jernigan and Preston Falls , the short story collection, The Wonders of the Invisible World , about owning his niche (once described as “smart-but-self-destructive-white-American-middle-class-male-in-crisis”), teaching fiction and non-fiction writing, why he left the east coast for Montana, how he feels about the end of Newsweek, what it was like to make his start as a writer in his 30s.
You’ll also find out why he doesn’t want to write another novel, whose books he rereads every year, the status of his next collection of stories, the lineup for his country-rock band of writers and critics, and why he’s not exactly as enamored with Jernigan as its fans are.
As a bonus, our very first guest, Professor Ann Rivera, rejoins us for a quick conversation about what she’s been reading lately and why! (Hint: she’s down on postmodern lit.) Why, here we are at Gina’s Bakery in Montclair, NJ, recording away!
Enjoy the conversations! Then check out the archives for more great episodes!

She attended Hampshire College along with your humble podcast-host in the early ’90s, which may help explain our mutual dislike of postmodernism.
Credits: This episode’s music is Guitar Man by Bread. The conversation with David Gates was recorded in the back yard of the Dog House residence on the Bennington College campus on a pair of Blue enCORE 200 mics feeding into a Zoom H4n recorder . The conversation with Ann Rivera was recorded Gina’s Bakery in Montclair, NJ with the same equipment. (Sorry about all the door opening/closing noises in that segment!) I recorded the intro and outro with that gear, sitting in a comfy chair in my library. File-splitting is done on a Mac Mini using Audacity. All editing and processing was done in Garage Band.

This is the second session of eight in our online creative writing course, in which we’ll be exploring how to write a short story. Now that your creative juices have been stirred, you should be ready to start writing; if not, go back and try some of the exercises in the first session of this course, releasing your creativity.
Writing short stories versus writing novels
Most new prose writers have the beginnings of at least one novel in their drawer. They will get to chapter three or four and give up because they don’t have the skill, confidence or stamina to carry on. If you’d never run a marathon you would be a fool to enter the Great North Run without first attempting some shorter distances. Short stories are the best place for new writers to hone their craft. But don’t be fooled, they’re not necessarily the easiest option. It takes a great deal of skill to write a short story that’s effective – you will have to curtail any tendency to ramble on. And not all writers need to be novelists either. I believe F. Scott Fitzgerald was quite comfortable as a short story writer and only produced the occasional novel out of pressure from his publisher, while the great Raymond Carver never wrote a novel in his life.
Short stories are an endangered species
There was once a time when every magazine carried some short fiction. Sadly, that time has passed. Now, apart from some weekly women’s magazines in the UK, short stories have retreated between the dusty covers of literary publications. The situation has become so bad that a group of leading writers and publishers got together to start the Save the Short Story Campaign and are beginning to make good progress.
Short stories appear to be doing far better across the pond in America where the art form is more respected and accessible to ‘ordinary’ readers. However, there are signs that this may not continue. Read Stephen King’s thoughts on the decline of the American short story. You can check out Writer’s Market for a list of North American short story outlets.
How long is a short story?
So what is a short story? Short stories can be anything from 500 to 6000 words. Anything under 500 words tends to be labelled ‘flash fiction’ or ‘micro fiction’ (although some would argue it’s still a short story) and anything over 6000 is moving into novelette or novella territory. I would argue that a short story is something that can be read comfortably in one sitting and doesn’t leave you starving or bloated. Popular magazines tend to accept work of between 1000 – 2000 words, more literary ones go for longer. Children’s short stories tend to be under a thousand words. If you would like to write for younger readers, check out some of my articles on writing for children.
A short story is a slice of life
A short story is a slice of life. As such, you should narrow the time frame and geographical location of the piece. One plot, two or three characters and no more than two locations (one would be better) should fit into a short story. If this is too tight a fit perhaps you should be writing a novella or a novel.
Fig 1: Short story time span
How to begin a short story
Start your piece as close to the turning point or climax of the story as possible. Most writers take a paragraph or so to find their feet. On a second reading they will delete the first paragraph as unnecessary exposition or padding. Your first sentence is crucial; it should be filled with energy, intrigue and forward momentum. The reader should be stopped in their tracks and not be able to turn away until they’ve read the whole thing. The first sentence should raise questions that need to be answered. Take for example these openers:
‘My mother was making me a dress.’ (From ‘Red Dress – 1946′, Dance of the Happy Shades)
‘General Sash was a hundred and four years old. ‘ (From ‘A Late Encounter With the Enemy’, The Complete Stories)
‘Fact is the car needs to be sold in a hurry, and Leo sends Toni out to do it.’ (From ‘Are These Actual Miles’, The Oxford Book of American Short Stories)
Exercise 4: Jot down questions that arise from these openings and what, if anything, makes you want to read on. If you can get hold of copies of the stories do so. Ask yourself: were the questions answered? Was I satisfied with the answers? Was the answer what I expected?
Exercise 5: Use a trigger image, phrase or thought (see Releasing Your Creativity) then write down a leading, opening sentence. What questions might be raised? How might you answer those questions in a short story? What setting would be most appropriate to answer the questions? How long will it take for the question to be answered? Can you think of any characters that might help you tell the story and answer the question? (We will be looking at building a character in a future session and try writing another story from their perspective). Look over your answers and see whether or not the outline of a short story is emerging. If not, try another sentence or another trigger image.
Beginning, middle, end
Every short story should have an opening that is developed in the middle to build tension which reaches its climax towards the end, after which there is a rapid conclusion. For those of you who have studied any dramatic or literary theory you will recognise this progression as typical Aristotlean Three Act Structure. In a short story you should not spend too much time in the ‘first act’ where development, setting and exposition take place, and should start your narrative as close to the inciting incident (aka point of change, first turning point or initial crisis) as possible. The inciting incident is the event which upsets the apple cart of the characters’ ordinary world and compels them to act in a certain way in order to bring balance or closure to their disrupted environment. In the Red Dress it is the school dance which the narrator fears will bring humiliation. She then tries to fake illness in order to get out of it, then, when this fails, tries to remain as invisible as possible at the dance. We will look at how a character acts to bring or avoid change change in a future discussion.
Exercise 6: What is the ‘ordinary world’ of your opening sentence? Remember, this may be an abnormal world to most readers, but it should reflect the status quo of your characters before it is challeged or shaken up. What challenges this status quo? This is your inciting incident. Using only three paragraphs (50 – 60 words each) or less, start writing your short story. In this short space you should establish your ordinary world, your main character and the inciting incident of your story.
Obstacles, setbacks, climax and resolution
This is the outline of the rest of your story. Imagine a graph of building tension.
Fig 2: Dramatic development in three act structure
Your story should follow that arc by allowing your character to face obstacles, setbacks and minor victories on the way towards reaching the dramatic climax and bringing resolution.
Exercise 7: If you are graphically minded draw yourself a rough graph or jot down the beginning, middle and end of your story. Now write the story and fill in the gaps. If you’re not so graphically minded, just jot down a few key phrases or events that might carry your story forward to a possible conclusion. Don’t worry, this isn’t cast in stone, and you can change the beginning, middle, end and anything in between at any time. Many writers just write to find their voice. That’s fine. Once you have a first draft, go back and see if it has some kind of structure or arc. If not, you may have to tweak it a little.
I hope this has given you some insight on how to write a short story. Happy writing!
The next creative writing course session is writing from a point of view.

My short story is slowly turning into a novella…I seem helpless with short stories.
John on June 2, 2018 at 5:21 pm said:
Well that may be a good thing and something to fix– not be rude. It’s good that you’re developing a longer piece from a short story because even great stories like the Lord of the Rings had a humble, non-caring beginning which became a series. However, what matters is the question, [are you able to finish it and are you use to crafting novels? If not, it is best to start from the beginning by working on shorter stories. Until then, save your wonderful debut ideas and long stories for the time when you can complete a novel. However, you probably are a pro already and knew everything that I told you before I told you. Keep going. If you truly love something, that passion will beam red in front of an audience because that is how people like us- or- it may be just my crazy self- that is how we communicate with others.

Thanks for all these guidelines but I have doubt; Is it okay if we start with an initial climax scene and then go into a flashback?
Fiona Veitch Smith on December 3, 2018 at 12:45 pm said:
Yes, that’s fine. It doesn’t always work though. Write it both ways and see which one works best. But it is certainly ‘allowed’.
Nikki on March 6, 2019 at 1:10 am said:
I was looking at the story arch graph and noting that I have an inciting incident at the appropriate place but it is sort of a preliminary or “fake” inciting incident. The real inciting incident comes right before the climax and then my story ends quickly after that. I like it because it is sort of like a Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez where you find out that the story is not going in the direction you thought and then it ends intensely. But I’m wondering if I should adjust it to make it follow the graph you drew here more closely. Would that appeal to audiences more? Or does it depend on the individual and is some creative liberty ok?
Hi Nikki. It’s quite acceptable for there to be a ‘fake’ inciting incident. It’s what gets the story going and causes your protagonist to act. But it can easily turn out that it was not quite as it seemed and the the fuller picture and ‘what really happened’ can emerge later. So stick with what you’ve got!
Ok! Thanks Fiona!!

Hi Fiona
I am throughly enjoying this course. I have the intention of writing my autobiography, but am now thinking of turning each stage of my life into short stories. Thank you.
Fiona Veitch Smith on July 4, 2019 at 11:41 am said:
That sounds like a very good idea, Helen. It will break it down into more manageable chunks for you. Happy writing!
Shobana Gomes on August 22, 2019 at 8:05 am said:
I managed to setup the Graph and it ended quite the way intended.
Latricia Austin on January 29, 2020 at 6:36 pm said:
My short story is very rhythmic.. is that okay? I write poetry and even when I am talking my words tend to rhyme at times.
Fiona Veitch Smith on February 12, 2020 at 1:11 pm said:
Hi Latricia. Well there is a whole genre of epic narrative poetry! Most of it, however, is written in blank verse, but I don’t see why a bit of rhyme here and there should be a problem. You should consider writing for children as it is quite acceptable for there to be rhyme in books for under 7s.
Ladybug on April 5, 2020 at 8:37 pm said:
I love this lesson. I am a young writer and I was very intrigued.
Fiona Veitch Smith on April 6, 2020 at 10:12 am said:
I’m very glad to hear you found it useful. Happy writing!
Henny on April 24, 2020 at 4:19 am said:
Thank you so much for putting this course together. I decided to take it because I want to start writing for an audience. And it has been quite instructive and helpful. Thank you.
Priya on April 30, 2020 at 12:25 pm said:
Hi Fiona..your style of writing and capturing the reader’s heart is truly inimitable..and pardon me for saying this..I read all the books suggested by you only to realise that the aforementioned fact regarding your inimitable writing style is absolutely true!! I think the other writers,with due respects to their writing prowess, could learn from you this rare skill. But then again I’m sure this is going to be difficult as yours is a rare inborn talent that cannot be so easily imbibed or imitated.
Faye on December 22, 2020 at 8:26 am said:
I think I will try my hand at short stories and sets.

National Parks to Experience in March
by John Bascombe on Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Top 10 National parks in Spain and Latin America
In Spain, we’re preparing to dive head first into spring and all the natural splendor that comes along with it, and we’re suggesting a few of Spain’s most treasured places for appreciating nature. Keeping in mind that the southern hemisphere will soon be welcoming autumn, we’ve included suggestions of natural paradises to visit on both sides of the equator, in Spanish.
1. Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park
Off the coast of the Spanish region of Galicia, opposite Rías Baixas, you’ll find four chains of islands around which divers can behold the wonderful underwater landscapes that fascinated Captain Nemo in Jules Verne’s classic novel 20,000 leagues under the sea. The island chains are Cíes, Ons, Sávora, and Cortegada. You can access them from Vigo, Ponteverdra or the Ría de Arousa. You can also taste the best small crab, bass, and octopus that’s made available by the local sustainable fishing traditions.
2. Picos de Europa
On the crossroads between the regions of Castile and leon, Cantabria, and Asturias, lies a scenic rock mass, where spectacular peaks tower 2,500 meters into the sky. Naranjo de Bulnes is the highest peak and a particularly challenging one for experienced climbers. The peaks of Europe are also home to one of northern Spain’s wonderful cooking traditions; Cabrales cheese, which makes a trip to Arenas de Cabrales required visiting. This is also brown bear, wolf, and golden eagle country. These perfect mountain landscapes offer unique atmospheres for climbing, hiking, and enjoying spectacular views.
3. Rapa Nui National Park
Hopping over to the other side of the world, and more specifically to the Pacific Ocean, a little over 800 kilometers off the coast of Valparaíso, you’ll find Easter Island, one of history’s living mysteries. This is where Maoi statues remain fixed in unflappable concentration, observing the island’s surrounding waters in curious anticipation of the unknown, witnesses to the intriguing past of an isolated world that mysteriously disappeared. From the town of Hanga Roa, you can immerse yourself in Chile’s remote island scenery and its autumn season.
4. Cabrera Archipelago Maritime-Terrestrial National Park
This chain of islands sits just ten kilometers south of Mallorca, where it offers an alternative to beach resort tourism; this national park is considered one of the Mediterranean’s best preserved ecosystems. The Island of Cabrera, the Island of Conejera, and 15 smaller islands make up the archipelago, where incredible panoramas lie above and below the surface of the sea. 90 meter vertical drop offs and unique spots such as Cueva Azul (blue cave) await eager viewers. The area gets little rainfall, meaning that the water is clean, clear, and an ideal place for diving. Finding this piece of “Ulysses’ Mediterranean” as naturalist Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente described it, quite removed from heavy tourist speculation is another one of the great appeals of these islands.
5. Sierra Nevada National Park and Natural Park
When most think of Spain’s Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, they generally think skiing, since one of the country’s most important ski stations is located here. Tucked away within this enormous park however are some of Andalucía’s most fascinating spots: Alpujarras, one of the peninsula’s last Muslim bastions, which offers scenery as gorgeous as that of Barranco del Poqueira, and charming towns with names still sound Mozarabic: Capileira, Pampaneira, Bubión…
6. Doñana National Park and Natural Park
As a stopping point for birds heading south from northern Europe for the winter and going back in the summer, this park is a paradise for birds and birders alike. It is better known as Coto de Doñana given its history as a private hunting reserve of the dukes of Medina Sidonia. The park, mainly located in the province of Cádiz and Seville, contains extensive and well preserved marshlands. The Iberian lynx is one of the area’s special gems, along with dune landscapes and points of interest with religious traditions, such as the town of Almonte, where over a million pilgrims head each year as part of the Romería del Rocío, a traditional pilgrimage / walk.
7 Iguazú Falls
In the Argentine province of Misiones, where the Paraná River meets the Iguazú River (a name that comes from guaraní “I Guazú” or “Big Waters”), this fantastic ensemble of 275 waterfalls spills from between 40 to 80 meters high, stretches 2,700 meters in width, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. The sound of the falls can be heard from 20 kilometers away. This is clearly one of the most impressive natural wonders of the world.
8. Monfragüe National Park
Hidden right in the heart of Extremadura, surrounding the tiny town of Villareal de San Carlos (the park’s only town), is one of Spain’s little known treasures. This unique setting offers a wide range of possibilities for hikers and nature lovers, where you can explore a land thriving with cork, oak, and wild olive trees, along with deer, otter, and wildcats. Lift your gaze to the sky to catch glimpses of members of the local bird community in flight: black vultures, imperial eagles, black storks and owls all make homes here. Making your way along one of the hiking paths you can lose yourself in nature, and after a scenic hike, the area’s tantalizing cuisine invites visitors to try specialties such as cerdo ibérico (Iberian pork), or juicy cherries from the Valley of Jerte. Spring is likely the best time to delve into this natural wonderland, a time when it’s bursting with vitality.
9. Machu Picchu Historical Santuary
Machu Picchu is located in the Peruvian department of Cusco in the Andes Mountain Range. This World Heritage Site covers 32,500 hectares. The area features Andean and Amazon characteristics and has the distinction of being the only place in the world to display Inca architecture integrated with the natural environment, helping to make it one of the wonders of the ancient world. Perched between 2,000 and 4,000 meters above sea level, the vegetation at this elevation is striking. The road from Cusco to the summits attracts history buffs, nature lovers, and those intrigued by the mysteries hidden within the aged walls.
10. Teide National Park
The Teide, or “el padre Teide” as islanders still call it, is Spain’s highest summit, rising 3,718 meters above sea level. It is also the country’s most visited national park… which is not surprising given its extraordinary natural beauty. It’s a place where you can observe the force of the planet in motion and where the landscape makes you feel like you’re in another world. You can get to the park from the towns of La Orotava, La Laguna, or Vilaflor. You also must visit the visitors’ center at Portillo or Roques de García, where you can build your knowledge of this dormant volcano and its surroundings. The climb to the top of the Teide is one of those experiences that nobody should miss; after spending the night in the Altavista Refuge, sitting atop the summit and observing the sunrise beyond breathtaking views of nearly the entire chain of Canary Islands, is something we guarantee you will not forget. Spring is a time when the exotic looking tajinaste flowers are in bloom and all of the region's endemic flora are clothed in their finest splendor.

Home Latest News Academics Panel explores ethics in political science research
Panel explores ethics in political science research
Karina Vizzoni
Zvobgo talks about her experiences with conducting research in other countries and respecting locals. JAMIE HOLT / THE FLAT HAT
Friday, Feb.15, the Social Science Research Methods Center at the College of William and Mary hosted a panel on ethics in political science with guest speaker Kelebogile Zvobgo as well as government professor Paula Pickering and the GRI’s Director of the Center for African Development, Philip Roessler.
Zvobgo is currently pursuing her doctorate at the University of Southern California, and her research focuses on human rights and political violence. Pickering’s research focuses on democratization in Eastern Europe, and she assists with facilitating the American-Bosnian Collaboration Project in the Global Research Institute. Roessler primarily researches African politics, conflict, state-building and development.
The discussion centered around obligations to research participants, the practices of partaking in safe research and the importance of protecting faculty, students and locals alike throughout the research process. The speakers first discussed the balance and tradeoffs between partaking in ethical, safe research and discovering answers to challenging questions.
Roessler acknowledged that it can be hard to create knowledge while keeping participants out of harm’s way.
“There’s a tradeoff between doing nothing and doing this research,” Roessler said. “So the big tradeoff is do nothing, and then you’re safe; you’re not harming anyone, but we’re not also better understanding how the world works. We’re not co-creating knowledge with people in these countries in which we work.”
Zvobgo discussed one of her recent pieces regarding a coup in Zimbabwe. Zvobgo acknowledged how she had been privileged to live in the United States for such a long period of time and had forgotten how easily she could risk her safety by calling out autocrats. In response, Zvobgo attained her American citizenship, so she could continue expressing her viewpoint in her research.
Pickering emphasized the importance of acknowledging one’s own privilege during research, as someone who is free to leave, unlike the locals who could be at risk due to participating in academic research. She discussed examples of this during her time research in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she had to be careful in which locals she spoke with in order to minimize their risk.
“It’s not your safety that you have to be thinking about,” Pickering said, “It’s always the safety of the local people that you’re asking to give you information, and you have almost nothing to give them back that is useful to them. Nothing.”
Pickering and Roessler both spoke to the intensive process of community-based research when students are involved. Local languages present challenges for these students, but their intrigue and fascination lend positively to the research process. There is also emphasis not only on the research but also on incorporating other opportunities to immerse students in these cultures and different countries.
The third and final question requested a follow up to discuss how professors should deal with the fairness and safety of certain students of others depending on gender, race and sexual orientation.
“There’s definitely a gender component as well,” Zvobgo said. “I need a male chaperone to go into the field some places, and that’s just the reality of keeping yourself and your participants safe, which is patriarchy goes global.”
Zvobgo asserted that it’s extremely important to keep yourself, your team and your participants safe, and dealing with these frustrating circumstances is necessary to do so.
Pickering went on to explain that she never puts her students into vulnerable, unsafe positions, and tries to avoid putting locals into that scenario as well.
“Always if you have questions, my main message is you have to have consultation with the locals,” she said. “Always ask local peoples at every stage of your research process, before you go, when you’re writing your interview questions because you have no idea, honestly.”
She emphasized how important it is to be cautious about what sort of questions you are asking, as well as their implications, in addition to following local protocol and maintaining connection with them in order to ensure you are staying within proper social boundaries.
Roessler reiterated Pickering’s point and said that it is of utmost importance to be cautious in questioning and to even take time to lay a foundation between a researcher and their participant, especially when dealing with sensitive topics.
Roessler even recounted an instance in which he dove into questioning too early, leading to a hostile exchange in which African officers pulled their guns, as they felt threatened. Roessler asserted that these protocols are extremely important not only in maintaining ethical behavior, but in ensuring everyone’s safety as well.
“We’ve had to shift projects, shift the environment, if it becomes hostile for doing the project,” Roessler said. “At the end of the day, no project is worth those risks, so you put a lot on hold.”
Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the Global Research Institute hosted the panel on ethics in political science. The article has been corrected to clarify that the Social Science Research Methods Center hosted the event.

A.G. HUNTSMAN
THE A.G. HUNTSMAN AWARD
was established in 1980 by the Canadian marine science community to recognize excellence of research and outstanding contributions to marine sciences. It is presented by the Royal Society of Canada. The award honours marine scientists of any nationality who have had and continue to have a significant influence on the course of marine scientific thought. The Award is named in honour of Archibald Gowanlock Huntsman (1883– 1973), a pioneer Canadian oceanographer and fishery biologist.
The A.G. Huntsman Award was established through initial principal contributions from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Natural Resources Canada, the Province of Nova Scotia, and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. Additional endowment was later granted from the LiFT Family Fund through Gift Funds Canada.
The Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia is Honorary Patron of the A.G. Huntsman Award.
2020 AWARD CEREMONY AND LECTURE
The 2020 A.G. Huntsman Medal was awarded to Dr. John Marshall on November 24 in recognition of his extraordinary ability to combine physical reasoning with analytical and numerical investigations which have led to major contributions in many areas of physical oceanography, the interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere, and the role of the ocean in climate.

The photograph on the website header shows CSS Hudson in Scott Inlet, Baffin Island, on September 6, 1977. The cliffs in the background are 300 or more metres high. In the fall of 1976, Bedford Institute of Oceanography scientists had observed an oil slick off the Inlet but because of ice conditions at the time they were unable to locate its source or to determine its extent. So in 1977 and again in 1978, CSS Hudson returned to measure the background levels of petroleum residues in the eastern Arctic and also to investigate the geology of the Baffin Island shelf. Together, the chemical and geological studies demonstrated that the slick at Scott Inlet is the result of natural seepage of petroleum from the walls and bottom of the submarine trough that cuts across the continental shelf in this area. This image of CSS Hudson appears on the Huntsman Medal. [Photograph by Roger Belanger, Crown Copyright]

New York City Football Club | NYCFC
Fans of Soccer in New York City now have a new team to root for with the addition of New York City Football Club to the Major League Soccer league.
As of 2015, NYCFC is the second MLS team to base in the NYC area with Spanish World Cup-winning striker David Villa signed as the first player and ex-England international and Chelsea all-time top goal scorer Frank Lampard joining as the second Designated Player. Sporting director Claudio Reyna hailed Lampard as "one of the greatest players in world history."
David Villa played the star role perfectly, showing off all the skills that were expected of him when he arrived in MLS (and earned him the top spot in Goal USA’s list of Top 50 MLS Players). He is exactly the type of talent a New York team needs if it is going to capture the imagination of a fickle city with plenty of other sports options to watch.
Playing in the Yankees Stadium for their inaugural season (2015), New York City FC won their first game in Yankees stadium beating the New England Revolution 2-0. “David Villa played the star role perfectly, showing off all the skills that were expected of him when he arrived in MLS which is exactly the type of talent a NYC team needs if it is going to capture the imagination of a fickle city with plenty of other sports options to watch.” They also delivered an off field achievement, delivering the highest game day merchandise sales in MLS’s 20-year history.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on March 8 it is lifting an import alert that prevented genetically engineered salmon from entering the United States. AquaAdvantage Salmon won the first-ever FDA approval of a genetically engineered animal intended for food in 2015. The FDA said then there was no biological difference between these and natural salmon. But Congress blocked the FDA in 2016 from allowing the fish to be sold in the United States until it finalized labeling guidelines to inform consumers the product was genetically engineered. That lead the FDA to implement the import alert. Also in 2016, Congress passed a law directing the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to set a national mandatory standard for disclosing bioengineered foods, which the USDA issued last December. The standard requires manufacturers, importers and certain retailers to disclose whether a product was bioengineered using either text, a symbol, a digital link and/or a text message. The FDA will now allow AquaAdvantage Salmon eggs, produced by AquaBounty, to be imported to the company’s facility in Indiana and raised into salmon for food. This salmon grows faster than farm-raised Atlantic salmon.
Faux Sushi
Dr. Jennifer McDonald, a biology professor at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, Canada, asked her class of seniors to visit sushi restaurants and bring back samples for a lab assignment. They were to extract the fish’s DNA and find out if the fish was in fact what it
claimed to be on the menu. Mislabeling fish can have serious health consequences. Researchers at Oceana found 84 percent of white tuna samples they tested in the United States were actually a fish called escolar. Escolar has been banned in Japan since 1977 because the government believes it is toxic and capable of causing extreme illness. Food allergy reactions are another possibility due to mislabeling. This can apply to shellfish and specific types of fish and fillers added to products, including gluten. The investigation of fish mislabeling in Canada started with fallout from a scandal in the European Union, where ground horse meat was being labeled as beef and pork, says McDonald. It’s easy to pass along fraudulent fish because it is purchased as fillets or pre-sliced steaks, not whole. Food fraud is a $50 billion annual industry. Olive oil, maple syrup and teas are common targets for food fraud, says McDonald. Her students found fish fraud along with some stomach-churning ingredients. “Fish mislabeling in the seafood and fish industry – even the aquarioum industry – is well-documented and something many governments are attempting to tackle with stricter rules and regulations, more enforcement and higher fines,” McDonald said. “I expected to find results that were in line with what was previously published: About 50 percent of fish will not be labeled correctly. Some species like red snapper and white tuna are more likely to be mislabeled.” Of the
approximately 650 base pairs, McDonald hoped to get a workable sequence of at least 500 base pairs, but the sample only had 200 clean pairs. A salmon filet from a grocery store’s seafood counter had so much body louse in it that it overrode the fish DNA.

50 Years Ago: Charles Whitman Climbed The Texas Tower
No multiple sniping incidents impacted the United States like the one committed by Charles Whitman, who was born [June 24] in Lake Worth, Florida in 1941. Early on the morning of August 1, 1966, Whitman killed his mother in her apartment and his wife at their home. At about 11:30 A.M., Whitman then climbed up to reach the University of Texas Tower (elevation of 231 feet), bringing along six guns, a shotgun, ammunition, a footlocker, knives, food, and water. On his way up, he clubbed the receptionist (who died later) on the 28th floor, and he killed two persons and wounded two others who were coming up the stairs from the twenty-seventh floor. From the observation deck of the tower, Whitman then opened fire on persons crossing the UT campus and on side streets, further killing 10 people and wounding 31 more (one of whom died a week later). For 96 minutes, he held the campus hostage. Finally, at 1:24 P.M., after several attempts, police and a deputized private citizen Allan Crum reached the observation deck, where police officers Ramiro Martinez and Houston McCoy shot and killed Whitman. Altogether, seventeen persons were killed, including Whitman, and thirty-one were wounded in what is still regarded as one of the worst sniper events in modern American history.*
Little known today is that this event encouraged police departments across the USA to develop what came to be Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, as Gary M. Lavergne points out in his excellent reference work on this subject, A Sniper in the Tower: The Charles Whitman Murders. The tower itself became a site of tragedy remembered and deaths produced. A series of suicides from the Tower, along with the horror of Whitman’s act, convinced the University of Texas Board of Regents to close the observation deck of the Tower in 1975. Not until 1998 was a vote taken to reopen the Tower, but only after the introduction of metal detectors, and the building of protective fencing around the deck to discourage suicidal jumpers. With those changes in place, Whitman’s sniper nest was reopened to the public in 1999.
The cultural influence of the Whitman event lives on in our culture to such an extent that it colors how we look at any sniper event….From songs to movies, there are hints of Charles Whitman all around us. Singer Harry Chapin wrote a long 1970s folktune Sniper, and Texan Kinky Friedman's facetious The Ballad of Charles Whitman carried on the tradition. Kurt Russell starred in The Deadly Tower (1975), later renamed Sniper, which was set at the Louisiana State Capitol because Texas officials would not allow its use by the filmmakers. References to Whitman continue in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers, Rick Linklater’s Slacker, and even in Ron Howard’s Parenthood. Whitman is even credited with having an impact on the works of writer Stephen King and Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, as both have admitted. As the D.C. sniper horror unfolded, one lone sniper, Charles Whitman was brought up, over and over again, from such diverse publications as the Workers World to the Right Wing News, from New Age tracts to less than mainstream Internet sites, demonstrating the widespread nature of this person’s story was having on the D.C. snipers tale. ~ The Copycat Effect: How the Media and Popular Culture Trigger the Mayhem in Tomorrow’s Headlines by Loren Coleman (NY: Simon and Schuster, 2004).
* The number was raised to 17, officially, years later. David Gunby, 58, was shot in the lower back. He died of his wounds in 2001; the coroner ruled his death a homicide.

Austin Shootings: Ponder and Pause in the Midst of a Media Frenzy
Saturday, July 30, 2016's wreck of a hot-air balloon was only miles from Austin, Texas. Lockhart is about 30 miles south of Austin.
Overnight, in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 31, 2016, reports out of Austin, Texas, tell of an "active shooter," and accounts of "separate shootings within the same area."
A moment to pause....
As I had to note a few years ago, gang shootings, domestic violence shootings, and friend-on-friend or gender-related-passion shootings take place all the time in America. But during news cycles of increased media attention to mass shootings, shooting sprees, terrorism attacks, and "rampages," every dispute that ends in gunfire will initially be reported as if it is an extraordinary and similar situation.
I'm not sure what's up with this Austin shooting, but I'm wondering if it is just another one of these types of shootings that is being overblown by the media. This is not to diminish the deaths of anyone involved in any such incident, but we have to start being able to discriminate between shootings, even if the media does not.
Calling something a "mass shooter situation" does not make it like all the rest.
The Austin, Texas police have said that one person (a female) was killed and four were injured following an "active shooter incident" in Austin.
The Austin-Travis County EMS tweeted there were "multiple" individuals with gunshot wounds.
Units were responding to the area of 208 East 6th Street. This is the address of the Friends bar.
This section of town is a busy area, very youth-oriented and tourist-oriented. To get some idea of where this spot is, two blocks away, the Museum of the Weird is located at 412 East 6th Street, which is next to the Jackalope and the Chupacabra Cantina. A block in between is the Alamo Drafthouse. The Friends bar is in back behind Voodoo Doughnuts.
Residents are being told to stay away from the downtown area.
The location of the shooter or shooters is unknown.
Be careful. Be safe.
Thanks to Mike Playfair for the alert.

Smiley Face Balloon Crash Kills 16
A hot air balloon believed to be carrying 16 people caught fire in the air and crashed in central Texas on Saturday (July 30, 2016) morning, killing everybody on board, federal and local authorities said.
The balloon may have struck power lines when it went down around 7:30 a.m. in pastureland near Lockhart, about 30 miles south of Austin, in an area often used for balloon landings, a county judge and public safety source told CNN.
"First I heard a whoosh," Margaret Wylie, who lives near the crash site, told CNN affiliate TWC. "And then a big ball of fire (went) up. I'd say it got as high up as those lower electric lines."
If investigators confirm 16 people died, the crash will be the most fatal hot air balloon accident in United States history.
The hot air balloon rests on the ground near Lockhart, Texas.
Federal Aviation Authority officials said the balloon carrying 16 people caught fire before crashing, but provided few other details. The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office said nobody on board survived.
Caldwell County Judge Ken Schawe said it looks like the balloon collided with a power line before catching fire and crashing to the ground.
A source with the Texas Department of Public Safety earlier told CNN's Polo Sandoval that investigators believe the hot air balloon struck power lines and caught fire. This is the preliminary working theory, the source said.

Mailbox Bomber Was Making Smiley Face
RENO, Nev. – The 21-year-old college art student accused of putting pipe bombs in mailboxes in five states told authorities he was trying to make a "smiley face" pattern on the map, a sheriff said Thursday.
The first 16 bombs were arranged in two circles, one in Illinois and Iowa and the other in Nebraska. On a map, the circles could resemble the eyes of the popular 1970s happiness symbol. The final two bombs, found in Colorado and Texas, form an arc that could be the beginning of a smile.
"There was a comment made to one of my officers about his hope to make a smiley face when he was all finished," Pershing County Sheriff Ron Skinner said.
Skinner said Luke Helder made the comments to an undercover county officer shortly after his arrest outside Reno on Tuesday.
"His demeanor was very jovial. He didn't seem to be taking anything seriously at the time," the sheriff said.
An FBI official would not comment on the sheriff's report.
Meanwhile, Helder's parents, Cameron and Pamela Helder, met with their son at the county jail in Reno for a half-hour. They were separated by glass and spoke by telephone.
"We are here to see our son in his hour of need," Cameron Helder told reporters afterward. "We told him we love him. I feel a lot better after speaking to him."
Helder faces federal charges in Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa, where he will be taken Friday for an initial court appearance. U.S. Magistrate Robert McQuaid Jr. denied a request Wednesday to release Helder to the custody of his parents.
"It's apparent to me that he suffers from some apparent mental health problems," McQuaid said.
If convicted, Helder could be sent to prison for life. Cameron Helder said he expects the legal proceedings to be a long process.
"It's already been very hard on us," he said. "Our heart goes out to the families of the victims."
The FBI said Helder placed 18 pipe bombs in mailboxes in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Colorado and Texas, along with anti-government notes. Six of the bombs exploded last Friday, injuring four letter carriers and two residents.
The eight bombs in Iowa and Illinois were found in rural locations that form an uneven ring about 70 miles in diameter. The Nebraska bomb sites — about 350 miles away — form a ring about 90 miles across.
The other bombs were found hundreds of miles away — one in Salida, Colo., the other in Amarillo, Texas.
The FBI issued an alert for Helder after his father called police Monday night about letters from his son that included references to death, anti-government comments and the phrase "Mailboxes are exploding." The same phrase was in the notes found with the bombs.
Authorities said Luke Helder has confessed to making 24 pipe bombs out of smokeless gunpowder, BBs or nails, paper clips and Christmas tree bulbs. The final 10 bombs found in mailboxes and the six found in his car had different detonation mechanisms and were not rigged to explode but were still dangerous, authorities said.
"Same pipe bombs, but he did not hook the battery to them," said Terry Hulse, the FBI agent in charge in Las Vegas. "The difference is when people opened the mailbox, they found them laying there."
Helder's parents arrived at Reno-Tahoe International Airport early Thursday from their home in Pine Island, Minn.
Cameron Helder said he wanted to thank the FBI and the sheriff's department for making the visit possible "so we have a better understanding of what is going through his mind and what is happening."
Helder wore a broad smile each time he was transported to and from jail and court. Washoe County Sheriff Dennis Balaam said Helder did not seem upset that his father had turned him in.
"I think he understands. I don't think there are any ill feelings there at all," the sheriff said. "It was an emotional goodbye. It's a difficult time for all."
The sheriff added: "I think as each moment goes by the consequences are starting to set in with him."
Balaam also said Helder, a junior art and industrial design major at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, was headed for California when he was arrested. Balaam said he did not know why.
Elsewhere Thursday, authorities in Sioux City, Iowa, blew up a pipe with no explosives found by three young boys and three small bombs made with drain cleaner exploded in mailboxes north of Spokane, Wash. There were no injuries in either case.
Indiana State Police also said that at least two juveniles are suspected of planting two pipe bombs in roadside mailboxes earlier this week. One of the bombs exploded, but there were no injuries.

Germany Discovers The Copycat Effect
The German publication Deutsche Welle, on July 26, 2016, after a series of shootings and rampages (Amokläufe) in their country, published "Mass Killers Inspire 'Copycat' Attackers."
In the wake of all the carnage, the violence could not be ignored. The article began,
There is growing evidence that an act of mass murder will inspire others to commit similar crimes. Media reports on carnages like the ones in Munich or Japan, play a crucial role in spawning "copycat" killers.
On July 22, Ali David S. struck the Olympia shopping mall in Munich, exactly five years after right-wing extremist Andres Breivik killed 77 people in Norway. There is a possibility that the Norwegian was a role model for the Munich killer.
To me, of course, what is remarkable is that during this summer of 2014, a dozen years about it was released, the media is discovering my book.
Deutsche Welle noted,
News organizations need to pay attention to the choice of words while reporting on such incidents, says Loren Coleman, author of the book The Copycat Effect: How The Media and Popular Culture Trigger the Mayhem in Tomorrow's Headlines.
According to Coleman, one should not, for example, report on "successful" gun attacks or "failed" suicides. Stereotypes such as "the boy next door" or "loner" should also be avoided, he adds.
There is no German language edition of The Copycat Effect, but it can be obtained in English in Germany.

ISIS Is Terrible At Geography
It is being widely reported on July 26, 2016 that ISIS has warned that their next attacks will be on London and Washington, D.C.
Only problem is that ISIS does not seem to know where Washington, D.C. is and what structures exist there.
As the media is noting,
One picture chillingly shows New York’s Statue of Liberty engulfed in flames but with the caption “Washington soon” - referring to the US capital 225 miles away.

Normandy: 3 Dead in Church Hostage Incident
A hostage, said to be the priest, was killed by attackers, who stormed a church in the town of Saint Etienne du Rouvray at around 9am this morning local time. The location is in Normandy, France.
The coat-of-arms for Saint Etienne du Rouvray, above, shows two leopards.
Unconfirmed reports said the victim had his throat slit by the armed men, who were shot dead by police officers as they emerged from the church.
Between four and six people were held by the attackers, including the pastor, two nuns and several worshippers.
Initially, it was reported the priest was cut, but later local media discuss this as a beheading.
The priest was Jacques Hamel. Hamel means hameau/hamlet.
Hamel-in ?! ~ JP
Meantime, a shooting has occurred in a Berlin hospital, with one doctor killed and the assailant dying by suicide.
Jihad means "holy war." It appears this is what war looks like in the 21st century.

The Vanishing Santa Claus of Munich's Shooting
Munich's Amoklauf has been a minefield of hidden discoveries.
For instance, it has been brought to my attention that initial reports of a Santa Claus being seen near the attack are disappearing from media reports.
This is the archived passage:
Two witnesses told n-tv television that they saw a man dressed as Santa Claus walking away from the scene of the shooting with a crowd of people. One said the man had blonde hair, was not carrying a weapon but had a suitcase.
The account is still visible at the Blue Lives Matter News, the Arab America News, and the Otago Daily News.
While searching on Google shows that this same phrase existed in previous online copies of articles on the Munich attack, they have been deleted from later editions. See here, here, and here, for three examples.
Was there a "Christmas in July" event happening at this mall that the media wishes to hide?
In line with the twilight language, it probably is of no surprise to readers here that Santa Claus - Saint Nicholas - should make an appearance in the Munich rampage.
The contemporary thoughts of Jim Brandon, author of Weird America (1978) and The Rebirth of Pan (1983), are turning out to be worthy of our attention, in the strangest places. (For more on the Nicholas name game, see here.)
Besides the materials on school shootings found in the gunman's room, and his obvious choice of the 5th anniversary of the Norway: 7.22.11 Breivik Attacks, even the location may have been picked on purpose.
The Olympia Park Mall was built near where the previous entitled "Munich Massacre" occurred. The Munich massacre was an attack during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, at which eleven Israeli Olympic team members were taken hostage and eventually killed, along with a German police officer, by the Palestinian terrorist group Black September.

Sagamihara Knife Attack Leaves 19 Dead
Japanese news agencies are reporting that 19 people are dead and 20 injured following a knife attack in Sagamihara, Kanazawa Prefecture, outside Tokyo.
A knife-wielding man attacked a residential care facility for the disabled at 2:30 am local time (July 26, 2016). A former staff member escaped, then returned, and turned himself into police.
Reports indicate that over 45 people have been injured.
Mass violence such as this is rare in Japan, and an incident like this has not occurred for decades.
An ancient city, Sagamihara was home to the Yokoyama clan, one of the seven warrior clans of the Musashi region during the early Kamakura period. The city has a population of over 700,000 people.
Thanks for the alert from Mike Playfair.

Mehr Amokläufe: More Rampages
Germany again! What is the central problem? One event appears to be triggering others - it is the copycat effect on steroids.
Over the weekend, there have been Mehr Amokläufe (more rampages) in Deutschland.
Europe was rocked on 14 July 2016, Bastille Day, on the "Promenade des Anglais: 84 Dead in Nice," France. The location, Promenade des Anglais means "Avenue of the English."
Then the series of German Amokläufe (plural of Amokläuf, rampages) began.
18 July 2016: A 17-year-old Afghan refugee [Riaz Khan Ahmadzai (also known as Muhammad Riyad)] injured four people seriously, two critically, with a knife and hatchet on a train near Würzburg in Germany. See "Amoklauf Würzburg Axe Attack."
22 July 2016: On the the 5th anniversary of the Norway: 7.22.11 Breivik Attacks, a mass shooting took place at the Olympia Mall's McDonald's in Munich, Germany. Ten were killed (including the gunman) and 35 injured. Ali David Sonboly (Persian: علی داوید سنبلی; called David S. by the police) was identified as the assailant. He was an 18-year-old Iranian-German with dual nationality. Police in Munich said the gunman had Amok Im Kopf a German translation of a book on mass school shootings, along with materials related to the 2009 Winnenden school shooting in Germany and the bomb-and-gun attacks in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people. See also "Amoklauf Munich Olympia Mall: Nine Dead."
24 July 2016: A Syrian asylum seeker armed with a knife attacked pedestrians in Reutlingen, Germany, killing a pregnant woman and wounding two other people.
24 July 2016: Twelve people were injured, three seriously, in a suicide bombing outside a wine bar. At 22:12 CEST (20:12 UTC), a bomb exploded outside Eugene's Wine Bar (German: Eugens Weinstube) in Ansbach, Germany. The bomber, the only fatality, was a 27-year-old Syrian man who had been denied asylum. The actual target of the bombing may have been the Ansbach Open music festival with around 2,500 people in attendance. The explosion occurred near the entrance to the festival. The suicide bomber, known to police after trying to die by suicide twice prior to the bombing, carried a backpack filled with screws, nails, and miscellaneous metal parts used in wood manufacturing and was denied entry into the music festival due to the lack of a ticket shortly before the blast. German authorities have found a video showing the bomber pledging allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on his phone. Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian interior minister, said "it is unquestionable that it is a terror attack with corresponding Islamist convictions of the perpetrator."
Thus, from the 18th through the 24th, there have been four Amoklauf events in Germany. More is expected.
Enki King observes:
Batman: The Killing Joke will be shown in theaters across the country [only] on July 25 [and July 26, 2016]. It is based on a graphic novel by occultist Alan Moore.
As we enter the week and a half period bookmarked by the appearance of Joker films in cinemas, it is worth recalling that the Joker's appearance was based on German actor Conrad Veidt's portrayal of Gwynplaine in the expressionist film The Man Who Laughs.
The end date, August 5, 2016, is capped by the first appearance of the Suicide Squad and its new Joker.
In the early morning hours of July 25, 2016, there was a shooting at the closing hour of a nightclub in Florida, giving people flashbacks to the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting of June 12, 2016.
25 July 2016: A shooting occurred inside the Club Blu Bar and Grill nightclub in Fort Myers, Florida. Preliminary reports indicate at least two individuals, both teenagers, are dead with 20 injured. The deceased have been identified as 14-year-old Sean Archilles and 18-year-old Stefan Strawder. Two suspects and a person of interest have been detained in connection with the shooting. The venue was reportedly hosting an all ages event for teenagers and ID was not required. The shooters apparently involved not teenagers, but those who were there to pick up the adolescents at closing.

Ufologists' Deaths: Early 2016 Edition
Mike Clelland is one of those writers who has deeper insights than most about the overlaps between UFO incidence, contemporary violence, human innocence, and relative coincidence. He has talked, for example, about the intellectual significance of such incidents after the Aurora shootings (see here).
In The Sync Book 2, Clelland ends his essay, "Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee,” with these thoughts (p. 344):
There is some unknowable facet of reality that creates synchronicity, and it has forced me to pay attention. I am impelled to follow this magic compass. I am being given clues and they are telling me to step off the well-worn path and step into the deepest part of the forest.
In 2015, his book The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee (with a foreword by Richard Dolan) was published. It expands the discussion begun in The Sync Book 2, and like that book, is also worthy of your time.
In general, I find books like Clelland's are the ones that folks might wish to ponder in these times of mass shootings and hysterically reported new waves of "ufo silencers.” The subjects seem disconnected, but I propose they are not. I am not sure there is a statistically significant surge in ufologists’ deaths, but there certainly is a new media interest in these people dying. There have been ufologists' death clusters in the past, as well, although the general public rarely remembers such moments.
So, allow me to pause in the midst of a horrible warm season of Amoklauf, and give some factual balance to the renewed tabloid sensationalistic approach to a couple recent ufo death notices. This current alleged "murder spree" of ufologists included one that probably was suicidal and another sudden death among those intrigued by ufo mysteries.
Following is my list of notable passings for the past six months.
Is there a major increase? Probably not. Is the old black magic of synchronicity at work here? Probably yes. Is there more to learn? Definitely yes.
As Clelland and I separately are heard to remark, "Are you paying attention?"

Amoklauf Munich Olympia Mall: Nine Dead
Okay, this is getting weird, considering what I have just previously written about borrowing the Malay-German word Amoklauf. A copy of the above book Amok Im Kopf was found in the Munich shooter's room. German police say he studied school and other mass shootings, and hacked into a woman's account on Facebook to lure children to the McDonald's for free meal items.
It's become quite apparent: He picked the date because it was the 5th anniversary of Breivik.
Someone on Twitter claimed the Munich shooter used a photo of Breivik as his WhatsApp profile pic.
"Obvious link" between Munich gunman and Norway's mass killer Anders Behring Breivik, German police say, the day after.
He appears to have been born in Germany, of Iranian descent, but was extremely xenophobic, anti-immigrants, during the shouted statements he made to his victims and eyewitnesses.
Amoklauf in Munich. At a McDonalds. A mall. Another day, another rampage - a shooting rampage - hit Germany on Friday, July 22, 2016.
Today is the 5th anniversary of the Norway: 7.22.11 Breivik Attacks. The attack was revealed to have a strong rightwing foundation. The Breivik events assisted me in predicting the Aurora shootings.
Now this German attack in Munich, a location heavy with terrorism history tied to the Olympics, as the August 5th date for the 2016 Summer Olympics nears.
Well, Loren, no sooner do you invite the word Amoklauf into our language than another Amoklauf happens --- and in Germany, specifically in the city of Munich where I was stationed in the US Army exactly 42 years ago. ~ Tom Mellet.
The shooter targeted children came the early reports said. Children at a McDonalds, next to the Olympia shopping mall. Reports of multiple shooters - up to three - probably were wrong, as they have been lately.
At least nine people were killed when gunfire erupted at a shopping center in Munich, Germany, in what police officials said "looks like a terror attack."
Munich police have verified that one of the ten dead bodies was the shooter.
The shooter has now been identified as an 18-year-old Iranian, who has been living in Munich for more than two years.
Police said no one was in custody, and the city was under a virtual lockdown, with residents being urged to stay home, restaurants and other business closing and public transit shutting down.
The shooting broke out at a McDonald's across from the Olympia shopping mall at about 5:50 p.m. local time, police spokeswoman Claudia Küntzel said. Shots also were fired inside the mall, witnesses said.
On Facebook, police said gunfire was reported in several locations and that witnesses said they saw three people with firearms. These reports appear to have mistaken.
A witness identified as Lauretta told CNN her son was in a bathroom with a shooter at the McDonald's. "That's where he loaded his weapon," she said. "I hear like an alarm and boom, boom, boom... And he's still killing the children. The children were sitting to eat. They can't run."
[Lauretta said she heard the gunman say, "Allahu Akbar," or God is great. "I know this because I'm Muslim. I hear this and I only cry." - Some are disputing this claim.]
This McDonald's shooting was only days after another infamous McDonald's rampage. It also was laid to a motivation rooted in xenophobia, as appears the Munich one.
The San Ysidro McDonald's massacre was a mass shooting that occurred in and around a McDonald's restaurant in the San Diego neighborhood of San Ysidro on July 18, 1984. The perpetrator, 41-year-old James Huberty, shot and killed 21 people and injured 19 others before being fatally shot by a SWAT team sniper.
It will be noted that the first victim killed in this 1984 massacre was named "Caine" and another fatality had the first name "Aurora."
The shooting ranked as the deadliest mass shooting committed in the United States until the 1991 Luby's shooting. It is the second deadliest shooting rampage in which the perpetrator was killed by police as opposed to dying by suicide, behind only the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting.
Some insights from others about the Munich shooting:
Olym(Pi)a on Pi day. 22/7. ~ Rory Sonya
Just as the Micah X. Johnson Amoklauf in Dallas took place just 1/4 mile East of Dealey Plaza, so did the latest Amoklauf in the Olympia shopping mall in Munich take place 3/4 mile West of the Olympic Village Building 31 where the Palestinian terrorist group called Black September took the Israeli Wrestling team hostage at the Munich Olympics on September 5, 1972. Just 4 months later, on January 7, 1973, Mark Essex took to the Howard Johnson's rooftop in New Orleans to carry out his Amoklauf mission. ~ Tom Mellet.
Let us also recall, beside the recent German train attack and the German cinema attack, there was a train station incident in May.
On May 10, 2016, there was a 5 a.m. attack at the Grafing train station, near Munich, Germany. One person was killed, three injured, as the man with a knife was quickly arrested. He yelled "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is great."
The Grafing Bahnhof suspect was taken into custody with bare feet, and his shoes could not be found.

Amoklauf Würzburg Axe Attack
More than 20 people have been injured and some have died after a man began attacking train (on the red one pictured above) passengers with an axe in Germany.
The attack happened on the train line between Wurzburg and Heidingsfeld. The site is between Frankfurt and Nuremberg.
The attack took place as the train was traveling between stations. The train made an emergency stop short of the station at Wurzburg-Heidingsfeld and the assailant jumped out of the train.
Police hunted the man down with ground searchers and a helicopter.
The assailant, armed with a knife and an ax, was identified as a 17-year-old Afghan man living in Ochsenfurt, Bavaria, according to Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann.
The ax-wielding man has been shot dead by police, according to Lt. Fabian Hench, regional police spokesman.
Four passengers who were attacked are in serious condition, with the total number of wounded unclear, although over 20 injured is reported by police and others. The attacker's motive is not yet known, Hench said.
The attacker remains unidentified, for now.
Shall we employ a new word in America for rampages?
Mass shootings and frenzied attacks have become all too routine in the USA. It's time for a new term. Let's use the German Amoklauf, which combines the Malay word "amok" (rampage) and "lauf" (run), as in "running amok."
I posted on Twitter about this:
The early 600s AD name Uburzis that was used at the same time as Würzburg is presumably of Celtic origin. Based on a folk etymological connection to the German word Würze "herb, spice," the name was Latinized as Herbipolis in the medieval period
The Würzburg witch trials, which occurred between 1626 and 1631, are one of the largest peace-time mass trials. In Würzburg, under Bishop Philip Adolf an estimated number between 600 and 900 alleged witches were burned.
On 3 April 1945, Würzburg was occupied by the U.S. 12th Armored Division and U.S. 42nd Infantry Division in a series of frontal assaults masked by smokescreens. The battle continued until the final Wehrmacht resistance was defeated on 5 April 1945.

Another Thin Blue Line Attack Copycat: 3 Police Officers Killed, 7+ Shot, Gunman Dead
The Thin Blue Line is a colloquial term for police forces, the barrier between crime and uncivil acts and civilization. Two movies have used this title. The Thin Blue Line is a 1965 documentary film by William Friedkin about the police and the problems they encounter. The Thin Blue Line is a 1988 documentary film by Errol Morris concerning the murder of a police officer.
Artist Frank Hayden's "Red Stick" in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
As correspondent Tom Mellet points out, the Thin Blue Line is now marked by the Red Pole, which in French is le baton rouge.
French explorer Sieur d'Iberville led an exploration party up the Mississippi River in 1699. The explorers saw a red pole marking the boundary between the Houma and Bayogoula tribal hunting grounds. The French name le bâton rouge ("the red pole") is the translation of a native term rendered as Istrouma, possibly a corruption of the Choctaw iti humma "red pole"
André-Joseph Pénicaut, a carpenter traveling with d'Iberville, published the first full-length account of the expedition in 1723. According to Pénicaut,
"From there [Manchacq] we went five leagues higher and found very high banks called écorts in that region, and in savage called Istrouma which means red stick [bâton rouge], as at this place there is a post painted red that the savages have sunk there to mark the land line between the two nations, namely: the land of the Bayagoulas which they were leaving and the land of another nation—thirty leagues upstream from the baton rouge—named the Oumas."
See also Red Sticks for the ceremonial use of red sticks among the Muscogee.
The location of the red pole was presumably at Scott's Bluff, on what is now the campus of Southern University. It was reportedly a 30-foot-high (9.1 m) painted pole adorned with fish bones.
During 2016, after the attack in Dallas that left 5 law enforcement officers dead, in a contextual history often forgotten, and with copycats since then, the Thin Blue Line is under assault again.
At least seven officers were injured and at least three of them are feared dead in a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Sunday, 7.17.2016. (The number of those killed was updated to "4" by a state legislature representative on MSNBC. He also said there were "multiple shooters," so his information is unverified. Police, during a news conference, also mentioned they may be looking for multiple shooters - in black, with long guns, with masks, faces hidden, maybe in military garb.)
Police received a call of "suspicious person walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle," the source said. The suspect appeared to be wearing black with assault rifle.
When police arrived, the man opened fire.
The remaining officers are hospitalized in critical condition.
Kip Holden, the mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish, said authorities were still trying to get a handle on the situation, but added, "The count is three officers dead possibly."
The victims may include police officers and sheriff's deputies.
"There is still an active scene. They are investigating," he said. "Right now we are trying to get our arms around everything."
The shooter is believed to be down as well, Holden said.
"Everything is moving fast and I have not been able to verify everything," he said.
Since the shooting death of Alton Sterling by Baton Rouge police earlier this month, the department has worried about credible threats against officers, on street protests, and actual plots to shot local police.
The gunman
The suspect was shot dead.
Screengrab from a video of a Gavin Eugene Long using the pseudonym of Cosmo Setepenra. (YouTube)
Long went to Dallas after the attack on police officers on July 7, 2016, according to a video he posted to Youtube. He tweeted a photo of Micah X. Johnson, the Dallas gunman. Long wrote that he dropped out of college, sold his two cars and gave away his material possessions to journey to Africa, his “ancestral homeland,” after a “spirutual revelation.” While there he wrote three books, he said on the website. Source.
Law enforcement agencies have identified the man as Gavin Eugene Long, who has been tied to the Sovereign Citizens Movement. Due to the early history of the Sovereign Citizens anti-government, allegedly white supremacy philosophy, initial confused caused some mainstream media reporters to identify Long as a white gunman.
Now, however, Long, is being described as a black male from Kansas City, Missouri, who was killed at the scene of the shooting, CBS News reports. He turned 29 on Sunday, July 17, 2016, as the day of these shootings was his birthday.
Gavin Long was a former University of Alabama student who was divorced from his wife in 2011. Public records show he has lived in Kansas City and Grandview, Missouri, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the university is located. He was a former Marine.
Montrell Jackson was one of the three officers killed. (Facebook)
Jackson's new son was born only two months ago.
The second victim has been identified as Matthew Gerald, 41, who was married with two children. He had been working on his own for 12 days.
"Where do you want this killin' done. God says, down on highway 61." ~ Bob Dylan
Airline Highway is a divided highway in the U.S. state of Louisiana, built in stages between 1925 and 1953 to bypass the older Jefferson Highway. It runs 115.6 miles (186.0 km), carrying U.S. Highway 61 from New Orleans northwest to Baton Rouge and U.S. Highway 190 from Baton Rouge west over the Mississippi River on the Huey P. Long Bridge. US 190 continues west towards Opelousas on an extension built at roughly the same time.
The highway was named "Airline" because it runs relatively straight on a new alignment, rather than alongside the winding Mississippi River. (Compare with the similar term air-line railroad.) The name later became even more fitting, as both Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport were built along the highway. Airline Highway also runs close to the site of the old Baton Rouge airfield (near the intersection of Airline and Florida Boulevard, now a park and government office complex), which brings it within blocks of the similarly named Airport Avenue and Airway Drive.
The highway's origin is famously identified with Governor Huey P. Long, who advocated for a modern highway system in Louisiana. Long was assassinated on September 10, 1935.

Home > Gramps Morgan offers musical relief
Published:Thursday | January 21, 2010 | 12:00 AM
Roxroy McLean, Gleaner Intern
Gramps Morgan - Contributed
Gramps Morgan will be hoping to, yet again, soothe reggae fans with the release of his debut solo album, Two Sides of My Heart - Volume 1.
The baritone singer, born Roy Morgan, branched out on his own with his 16-track solo album which speaks to, as the album's title suggests, romantic love as well as love for his country and social issues.
Gramps is the first Morgan sibling to release a full-length album since Morgan Heritage went on a hiatus in 2008. "That was my father's (Denroy Morgan) dream," he said during a recent chat with The Gleaner.
The album was released in the United States last August on his Dada Son Entertainment label and sold more than 12,000 copies during the first week, but it's the local market that Gramps and his management team are targeting.
Growing interest
The album is being distributed by Tads Records, and Gramps has said that the public's interest is growing.
"A lot of people are getting interested in it (the album) since we have been marketing in the island," he said.
Gramps was fresh from a lengthy US and European tour when he sat down with The Gleaner. The keyboard player went to promote his album - which is the first of two projects - touring with international R&B singer India.Arie.
Volume 2 is said to be a mixture of souls and country music, which contain 12-tracks and is set to be released later this year.
During Gramps' album tour, he made a live appearance on VH1 with India.Arie and at Walmart's Super Store, which was broadcast over the store's 1,400 branches across the USA.
"Those were two major highlights working with her," he said.
He was also featured on John Legend's Evolver tour for several shows, and closed off the year with Buju Banton on his Rasta Got Soul tour, between September 11 and November 7.
Valuable lessons
Looking back, Gramps said he took valuable lessons from each individual, and will invest each experience into his future endeavours.
"India had a spiritual connec-tion with her audience, which we artistes can relate to. John was like a perfectionist and I also learned a lot from him vocally. The Gargamel just gives you it all onstage. I have also learned the importance of fitness, so I decided to hire a fitness trainer," he said.
On this well-produced album, there are a few songs that stand out and make an instant impression. The lyrics, he said, are a reflection of his deep connection with life and its offerings.
"I'm just giving fans a chance to get a feel of Gramps. I'm guaranteeing a change in life to anyone who listens to my album. There are so many confusing things happening in this world. My album is to give listeners a sense of hope," he said.
The songs to look out for are: Come Back To Bed, For One Night, One In A Million and Wash The Tears.

Uncle Vanya : Translated by Tom Leonard
This is an English translation by Tom Leonard which was performed throughout the UK by Theatre Babel in 2002. It is published for the first time by his surviving family and includes notes on his translation Tom originally wrote which were first published by Edinburgh University Press in Translation and Literature, Volume 12: Issue 1, 2003, pages 155-158 https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/tal.2003.12.1.155
The text below came a flyer for the show:
Tom Leonard, past winner of the prestigious Saltire Prize and one of Scotland’s most admired poets and essayists, has been commissioned by Theatre Babel to create a new version of Uncle Vanya.
Understood to be Checkhov’s finest play, Vanya is a powerful and witty exploration of unrequited love and thwarted ambition; combining the dazzling characterization and profound understanding of human nature that marks out the work of Europe’s foremost classical dramatist.

The relationship between national and European regulation of telecommunications
Thatcher, Mark (2002) The relationship between national and European regulation of telecommunications. In: Jordana, Jacint, (ed.) Governing Telecommunications and the New Information Society in Europe. Edwar Elgar Publishing Ltd, Cheltenham, UK, pp. 66-85. ISBN 9781840647570
European and US scholars of communications, telecommunications, and politics undertook a pilgrimage of their own devise to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in April 2000 to analyze the recent transformations of the telecommunications regulatory regime in Europe, the market developments, and its implications for the development of a European Information Society. The 11 published papers have been revised, some substantially, from the original presentations. They discuss such topics as Portugal and Spain as examples of the persistence of telecommunications policies in national states, and overcoming institutional fragmentation and policy failure to create the new society.

My Sharing Notes that i had learned.
"Guilty" currently is Top 1
Let's make a change of pace and dabble in the j-pop realm for a second - "boy" band V6 of Johnny's Entertainment is set to cross the seas and claim a spot on the Korean music scene!.
V6 have a pretty impressive history in Japan with over seventy singles (plus "Change the World" from Inuyasha nd a wide range of appearances, from broadcastings like dramas, radio programs and variety shows to stage performances like plays and musicals.
On the 9th, SM Entertainment announced V6's latest single "Guilty" will be distributed in Korea on CD and DVD on the 14th. This package will include a poster plus special booklet with letters handwritten in Korean. The DVD will contain V6's live performances by its two subgroups, 20th Century (Tonisen) and Coming Century (Kamisen) of "Starline" and "Hello-Goodbye", respectively. And it looks like that isn't all - V6 has already scheduled their first concert in Korea for November 14 & 15 at the popular Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park.
Apparently, "Guilty" claimed the #1 spot on the weekly Oricon music chart earlier this month and sold nearly 64,000 copies in the first week.
